Activision owns you(r wallet).

We had heard a few weeks ago that there would be another map pack available for Modern Warfare 2. Well, in an interview with Major Nelson, Infinity Ward Community talking head (and, honestly, good guy) Robert Bowling outlined the five maps that would make up the Resurgence Map Pack due out June 3rd.
Earlier this week, Kotaku posted a few screens from said map pack, three new maps and two re-hashed from Call of Duty 4.

The price? Well, considering so many people boycotted bought the first map pack's ridiculous pricing of fifteen dollars, Activision thought it prudent to cut the gamer crowd a little break; by offering a double XP weekend the next two weekends leading up to another fifteen dollar map pack. So in case you are scoring at home, you paid:

• $60 (plus tax) for just the game and its ship day release of sixteen multiplayer maps.
• $70 (plus tax) for all of the above plus a cool book and tin case, also a copy of Call of Duty classic. 
• $150 (plux tax) for all of the above plus a bust of Soap and some NVG's - which are pretty cool the night you got them and got to toy around with them.

Now, you obviously didn't get all three editions (I hope), but now to put that all in perspective, you are spending $30 (across these two DLC map packs) to get only six new maps. I really don't count Vacant, Crash, Overgrown, and Strike as new maps. They aren't new; I played them for two-and-a half years. Its a complete cop-out to expect me to pay $12 (do the math) for maps that I can just go ahead and pop in my Call of Duty 4 disc and play. I'm sure there are still a few people out there playing Call of Duty 4. I would rather Infinity Ward not waste my time, bundle 3 new maps together and charge five bucks. If you want to play all the old CoD4 maps on Modern Warfare 2, charge 5 bucks to transfer all the multiplayer maps over. Rock Band did it with song tracks, why cant Modern Warfare do it? 

TL;DR- Vote for Shipment.
